What did we think about this book?
(CONTAINS SPOILERS)
I would have to say, I consider this the saddest book I’ve read yet. 💔 But on a happier note, I really did love the relationship they had when they finally decided to face their feelings. The connection of the two and how well they knew each other made me love them even more. They were quite made for each other ❤️. But I was so upset by how long it took them to face the fact that they are in love with each other! I bawled my eyes out crying over this book (thanks to my sister for finally getting it off my TBR), I’ll never forget this book!
